Introduction to Programming Using Java offers an object-oriented approach, introducing the concepts of object, class, and message as early as the first chapter. This approach is used throughout the text as students learn the fundamentals of object-oriented programming along with the basics of imperative programming. The authors place a strong emphasis on the software development process, presenting a clear and usable procedure for solving problems by developing classes.

  • Focuses on programming as modeling by discussing how to extract the major points of problems and represent them in a program.
  • Contains extensive examples that explain the design decisions of Java.
  • Provides an early introduction to testing, including test drivers, debuggers, and test case selection.

  • Conditionals and primitive data types are introduced earlier in the text to provide richer and more meaningful examples.
  • Class definitions are expanded to provide a more even-paced introduction.
  • More explicit examples of working with objects are included, and method invocation is further explained as the benefits of modeling are reinforced.
  • Two significantly enhanced chapters, one focusing on design, and the other focusing on testing.
  • GUI supplements are reworked to tie in with the chapters in which they appear. Now instructors can reinforce concepts covered in the chapter by allowing students to practice them in applet form.
  • 30% more exercises included throughout.
  • All code is updated to be compatible with Java 1.4, the latest release of Java.
